Pieta Pariqa was born in the North Docks amongst the throng of merchants and sailors, and would have become one of those if it wasn't for the extra eyes that she was born with. This was the mark of the Spider Goddess, Ishkrah. Her parents would have taken her to the Midwives, but an enterprising uncle thought it was good luck that she had survived and convinced the parents that he could look after her. He made a small amount of money from showing off the freak with multiple eyes to visitors, but mostly he trained her in the ways of mercantile deeds.

	~~She did rebel against this~~, ~~leaving them~~ and ~~trying~~ to ~~find her own way~~ in the ~~world~~, ~~partying and forgetting that there was always danger about~~. ~~And then~~ her ~~family was killed in one fell swoop~~, and ~~finally, Quiescence discovered that with great responsibility comes great power. She joined up with~~ the Midwives, ~~and now she is a Minister herself~~.		To the Aelfir Lords, she sold herself as an intermediary between the humans and Spire and thus was allowed to continue working in the Docks. After her durance, she returned home, only to see her uncle killed. This shook her, and so she found the Midwives and asked to be trained, perhaps to avenge him.

	Quiescence is her name that she took on as a Midwife, to illustrate the virtue of stillness and not reacting. She is... not good at that.		Quiescence is her name that she took on as a Midwife, to illustrate the virtue of stillness and not reacting. She is... not good at that.

Quiescence Pieta Pariqa never served an Aelfir lord, instead being trained by her aunt and uncle in the art of deception. As a family, they moved around and Quiescence always pretended that she was the servant of an Aelfir just over the other side. She grew to realise that her aunt and uncle were part of the Ministry, and that they were training her to be a spy.

She did rebel against this, leaving them and trying to find her own way in the world, partying and forgetting that there was always danger about. And then her family was killed in one fell swoop, and finally, Quiescence discovered that with great responsibility comes great power. She joined up with the Midwives, and now she is a Minister herself.
